Cardinals Recap/Trade Thoughts
Finally, another sweet. Granted, this time it was against the Pittsburgh Pirates. But, any port in a storm. What went right this weekend for the Cardinals? Offense The offense finally got going this weekend, Friday night notwithstanding (although they did manage nine hits). Albert Pujols went 5 for 13 with two home runs and three […]
Steve Kelley Reviews “Dinner for Schmucks,” Writes Self-Centered Title
There are times that you just know you’re brought to a dinner to be the focal point of attention. A roast. An awards ceremony. As the stripper in a cake. But enough about my 12th birthday. What if you were brought to a dinner as the entertainment without realizing it? Based on the French film […]
Rascals Beat Miners, Steve Kelley Gets Epic Snowcone
In my quest to become the best sportswriter in the history of ReviewSTL.com, narrowly beating out the empty chair that held the title before me, I told the bosses I would write about whatever they needed me to. When they told me they could get me a media pass to check out the River City […]
Avoiding the Broom, Other Baseball Thoughts, T.O.
Whew. One week after sweeping the Dodgers and nearly sweeping Philadelphia, the Cardinals nearly found themselves victim of the same trend, pulling out a late-night victory against the Cubs. This spared the Cardinals of the ignominy of losing to the cubs, and me losing a bet, forcing me to streak around my friend’s apartment complex […]
“One hit? One g*damn hit?”
I think it’s safe to say that for the finale of the series with the Phillies, the Cardinals went out with a whimper. The Cardinals managed one hit and two walks in 11 innings yesterday while losing 2-0 to the Phillies. Tip your cap to Cole Hamels; he simply was on. Adam Wainwright was effective […]
ReviewSTL Talks to Steven Cash, 2010 ESPY Winner
By all accounts, I’m a pretty awesome guy. A charming, handsome fellow whose polymath skills are matched only by my modesty. On occasion, however, there comes along another person whose accomplishments humble even Stephen the Great. Those who watched the ESPY Awards on ESPN last week obviously saw all the big-name hotshots that won the […]
Dusting off the Brooms
Finally! Much like a girl who teases and frustrates a man to the point of no return, the 2010 Cardinals have flirted with sweeps throughout the season, only to come up empty. Not this time, though. Playing the first series after the All-Star Break, the Cardinals finally managed a sweep, a four-game series, no less. […]
Steve Kelley Reviews “Inception” – The Smartest Movie of the Summer
“Wow.” “Incredible.” Thanks to Inception, the latest Christopher Nolan film, these are no longer words I only use when I look down in the shower. Chris (I feel like we’re on a first-name basis based on the zero times I’ve met him) is best known for helming the reboot of the Batman franchise, but this […]
Halfway Home: The St. Louis Cardinals at the All-Star Break
With the All-Star game tonight marking the slightly-over-halfway point of the season, it’s a good time to look over how the Cardinals have done thus far. At 47-41, it’s safe to say thus far the results have been a little underwhelming. Like me with my women, the Cardinals started off strong before they faltered and […]
Predators
It’s rare nowadays to find a movie sequel or third installment that lives up to the billing of the original. Certainly, there are exceptions. Terminator 2, Aliens, The Empire Strikes Back, Casablanca 2…ok, one of those things doesn’t belong. The original Predator, released in 1987, became a staple of the sci-fi/action genre, but the sequel […]
